Cartwright Travel Wins 2017 TTG Wales Top Travel Agency Award For The Second Consecutive Year

Steve Cartwright, Managing Director of Cartwright Travel, was proud to announce on the 13 March that they were the winner of the TTG Top 50 Travel Agencies Award in Wales for 2017 adding to their 2016 victory in the same contest.

The glitzy award ceremony took place at the Vox Venue in Birmingham where a selection of the UK's elite travel agency powerhouses were gathered in eager anticipation.

The travel trade gazette award is voted by many of the UK's leading travel suppliers who are keen to identify high levels of customer service and innovation.

Steve said:

To win this award is an incredible honour. The team here feel incredibly proud and it's a huge reflection of their hard work and effort the team have put in to achieve these high levels of customer service".

The huge experience the sales team has in both selling holidays and cruises is second to none.

Being truly independent makes a difference as we pride ourselves on finding the right holiday at the right price.

Cartwright travel has also cornered the often penalised solo holiday market and also focused on the ever expanding river cruising sector.

Cartwright Travel Wins 2016 TTG Wales Top Travel Agency Award

Cartwright Travel of Cardiff in South Wales has been named as Wales’ Top Travel Agency in a new power-list of the UK & Ireland’s best agents with its two major brands: Cartwright Travel & Passion For Cruises.

The agency beat off competition from four other high street travel agent finalists in Wales to take the 2016 trophy.

TTG’s Top 50 Travel Agencies list was revealed in a glittering ceremony at the Vox in Birmingham after an extensive judging process led by industry bible Travel Trade Gazette, which saw agents rated by tour operators, other suppliers and assessed by travel trade journalists.

TTG editor Pippa Jacks said: “Our search for the nation’s best travel agents has taken us the length and breadth of the country, where we’ve uncovered countless stories of brilliant agents going the extra mile for their customers, giving great value, and serving their communities.

“What our new Top 50 list shows is that travel retailing in 2016 is a vibrant and successful business sector, and that – particularly on the high street – agents continue to prove their worth by delivering phenomenal customer service to their customers.”

“We had our work cut out to decide the winners from a huge list of 500 contenders and the 80 stores and businesses that made it to the shortlist stage”

A thank you message from both Steve Cartwright (Managing Director) and Steve Philippou (Sales Director Passion For Cruises):

"An Incredible result which could not have been made possible without all your support. We are determined to continue our high levels of customer service combined with finding you the very best holiday offers."

Having been on the initial shortlist to actually go on and win the award of best travel agency in Wales against such strong competition was simply a breathtaking achievement and a real testament to all the team here.
